Disliked: Cleanliness
Well, room rates suddenly changed from a flat rate per day to a variable rate after I booked the room, not unusual. But the complete lack of maid service, inability to get a clean towel or new bar of soap is also a problem. Upside was that breakfast okay and the front desk help was nice.

Our stay was good! The staff were all wonderful and the breakfast was great! The pool and hot tub were clean and good as well. However, the room was a bit dated and we only got two bath towels. Which was a bit inconvenient for two adults staying. Minus the outdated decor and the limited to no amenities the room was great and clean!
